MOST WANTED CHINESE NATIONAL NABBED; SUSPECT AN EX-POGO EMPLOYEE
The Philippine National Police (PNP), under the leadership of PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., arrested CALABARZON’s No. 1 Most Wanted Person, a 34-year-old Chinese national and former Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) employee, during a joint operation on July 17, 2026, in Barangay Looc, Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental.
The suspect, identified only by the alias “Xi,” was arrested through a joint operation by the Police Regional Office–Negros Island Region, the National Capital Region Police Office, Police Regional Office 4A, in coordination with the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC) Task Force. She was apprehended by virtue of a Warrant of Arrest for Robbery under Article 294, Paragraph 5 of the Revised Penal Code, as amended.
Following her arrest, alias “Xi” was properly documented and is now under the custody of the Dumaguete City Police Station pending her turnover to the issuing court and the completion of all required legal procedures.
“The arrest of most wanted fugitives shows that no one is above the law, regardless of nationality. It reflects our determination to ensure that those facing criminal charges are brought before the courts,” said PGEN Nartatez.
“Patuloy nating tutugisin ang mga wanted na indibidwal upang mapanagot sila sa kanilang mga ginawa at mapanatiling ligtas ang ating mga komunidad,” he added.
The accomplishment reflects the PNP Focused Agenda, a framework for organizational transformation designed to make police service more responsive and accountable to the public. Among its key priorities, Enhanced Managing Police Operations reinforces sustained intelligence and law enforcement efforts against wanted persons and other criminal offenders.
As the PNP intensifies its campaign against wanted persons and other lawless elements under the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., it assures the public of “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat, at Nararamdaman.”
